Power Dynamos promising defender Billy Mutale has welcomed his inclusion in the 34-man Zambia Under-23 provisional squad for the Olympic and All-Africa Games qualifiers.
Under-23 coach Fighton Simukonda has named Mutale in the team that regroups on Sunday in Lusaka to prepare for the All-Africa Games away qualifier on February 21 against Madagascar.
Mutale said the Under-23 call up would help him to break into the senior national team.
“It’s good to be part of the national team under-23. I am happy to be there and I give thanks to God,” he said.
Mutale has just sealed a permanent move at Power from Nchanga Rangers after spending the 2014 season on loan at the Arthur Davies outfit.
“This is the chance I have to work hard and get a position in the senior squad,” Mutale said.
The central defender was groomed by Kalulushi Modern Stars before he was loaned to Nchanga three seasons ago.

Dear Reader,
They rob and steal from the people. They speak lies and utter vain prophecies and visions, leading people astray. They draw people to themselves, claiming to have a special relationship with God, but they lie and deceive the people.They claim to know everything about you but they lie, and know nothing! They sleep with married women and break the hearts of single women. They destroy homes and families. They destroy marriages, businesses and destinies. They are mere diviners and sorcerers and are no prophets of God at all.
